Spinach and Feta Pastry Gems
Spinach and Feta Pastry Gems are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that will impress your guests. These savory pastries are made with a flaky puff pastry crust and filled with a flavorful mixture of spinach, feta cheese, and herbs.
To make Spinach and Feta Pastry Gems, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
- 1/2 cup of fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or dill)
- 1 egg, beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
To begin, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 9 equal squares.
In a small bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, crumbled feta cheese, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Spoon a small amount of the mixture onto the center of each pastry square.
Using a pastry brush, brush the beaten egg around the edges of each pastry square. Fold the corners of the pastry up and over the filling, pressing the edges together to seal.
Place the pastry gems onto the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
When finished, the Spinach and Feta Pastry Gems will have a beautiful golden brown color and a flaky, buttery texture. The filling will be savory and flavorful, with the tangy feta cheese balancing out the earthy spinach and fresh herbs.
These Spinach and Feta Pastry Gems are perfect for any occasion, from a casual dinner party to a fancy holiday gathering. They are a great way to impress your guests with minimal effort, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
